Fees & Scholarships

Tuition fees, payment structure, and available financial support

The MDMC programme has a defined tuition structure and offers opportunities for financial support through scholarships and fellowships, depending on available funding. 

The standard tuition fee for the MDMC programme is €4,500, payable in two instalments:

  • €2,250 by 22 September 2026
  • €2,250 by 26 November 2026

Additional regional student fees and administrative charges may apply, in accordance with Italian regulations.

Failure to meet payment deadlines may result in exclusion from the programme. 

    Financial support may be available through agreements with institutions, research organisations, and private partners.
    This support can include scholarships, grants, and fee coverage for selected candidates.  Availability and conditions may vary depending on funding opportunities.
    Scholarships cannot be combined with other financial awards of the same type.
